FULL DAY OFFSHORE CHARTER

DEEP SEA TUNA FISHING

This charter is our most memorable offerings.  A full day out at sea with large game fish on offer can become a life-changing experience for both the beginner and experienced angler.

The fishing grounds beyond Cape Point are world renowned for Tuna Fishing. We target the bigger species of pelagic fish like Yellowfin, Big Eye and Longfin Tuna.  You will also sometimes find Dorado or Marlin here too.  These large fish are known to put up an impressive fight. When you land one of them you will remember it for the rest of your life.  You may even find yourself hooked and wanting to experience the thrill over and over again.

The best method to catch Tuna is either by trolling lures behind the boat or creating a chum line and fishing with bait while drifting in the current. Often you will find other pelagic fish like Skipjack, Katonkel and Dorado in the same area.  From time to time we hook a Mako or Blue shark.  Although these fish will put up a memorable fight, we work on a strict catch and release basis for Mako and Sharks.

We recommend a very early departure for this outing in order to reach the prime fishing area.  The best fishing grounds lie approximately 40 nautical miles off Cape Point.  The sooner the departure, the more time you can spend trying to catch ‘The Big One’.

We use top of the range Shimano reels and comfortable stand-up harnesses.  Everything that you will need to catch a tuna is on board.   

The safety of our guests is of utmost importance to us.  We ensure that our boat, our motors and navigation equipment is maintained to the highest standards. You will also find that all our fishing equipment is well maintained and in good working order. 

We will keep your catch on ice and will gladly clean and fillet your catch on your return Simon’s Town.  You are more than welcome to enjoy a meal or a drink at the False Bay Yacht Club on your return.
